Have you tried File.copy?

Some Windows CD software sees up the drive such that, at least in File 
Explorer, simply dragging files to the CD drive prepares it for burning 
(though there may be some other steps to finalize this).


Also, see what CD burning software you have, or can get, and see if it 
exposes a scriptable interface or an ActiveX DLL.  You should be able to 
drive these with Ruby.

As a last resort, consider using AutoItX, which let you script pretty 
much anything in Windows by way of clicks, drags, typing, and so on.
